Littelfuse Automotive Sensor Products offer a wide range of sensors for use in monitoring various vehicular functions in the areas of passenger safety, comfort and convenience plus vehicle powertrain, chassis and emission applications.

Tampa, March 23, 2017 — Littelfuse, Inc., the global leader in circuit protection, and Monolith Semiconductor Inc., a Texas-based start-up company developing silicon carbide technology, today announced demonstrations and other activities planned for their booth (#536) at the Applied Power Electronics Conference & Exposition (APEC 2017), March 26-30, 2017. The theme for their display this year is “Making SiC Mainstream—Defined by Customers. Developed by Monolith. Delivered by Littelfuse.”

In their first joint appearance since the recent majority investment by Littelfuse was announced, Littelfuse and Monolith technical experts will be on hand in the booth throughout the show to present several demonstrations and new technology platforms with products nearing introduction, including the new GEN2 Series of 1200 V silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diodes manufactured in an automotive-qualified 150mm CMOS foundry.

Applications experts will be available to walk booth visitors through the design process. Kiosks in the booth will offer visitors videos and models of several new technology platforms:
• Advanced power converters demonstrating the benefits of SiC-based platform designs, delivering module-like power, higher efficiency, increased power density and performance with discrete SiC devices.
• Evaluation kits and design platforms that can simplify the design and optimization of power converters using SiC diodes and MOSFETs.

"The theme for our booth at APEC 2017 says it all," said Ian Highley, senior vice president and general manager, semiconductor products and CTO for Littelfuse. "We’re working together toward making silicon carbide a mainstream technology for power conversion, and APEC gives us an opportunity to reach potential customers to demonstrate the progress we’ve made over the last year in a meaningful way."

"Between the kiosks and our experts in the booth, and the presentations we’ll be giving this year, people in the silicon carbide industry will be impressed by how far and how quickly we’ve come," said Sujit Banerjee, PhD, CEO of Monolith Semiconductor. "The big difference, however, will be one of approach; we will provide not only highest quality SiC devices, but also the best service and support to design our devices into customer applications."
